Thank you so much! I'm a cosplay noob and and wanted to build a sword out of insulating foam, but I totally ruined it and was too afraid to work with it again :/ but I will definitely try it again on my next cosplay!
when I worked with it for the first time I also messed up ^^' but in general insulation foam is such a nice material for cosplay and I wish you best of luck for you're next projects! ♡
so helpful! I’m not doing cosplay but doing a craft project on foam but this is the best instruction / test video I’ve seen on which materials work together the best
Super cool video!! So informative! Loved seeing all the different reactions of the foam! Favourite Parts of the video: 1. No-face puppet peering over your shoulder, ready to mess anybody up who dares defy you..!! 2. CONFETTI (tiny trash!!) 3. Googly eyes~ :3 4. You ;)
Confetti is life!! haha xD I can't remember for which birthday I bought that but don't worry, I have still enough for next year ;D but no-face pupped has a face :o maybe I should glue on some googly eyes to make it more 'visible', haha
thank you so much for making this video!! im wanting to work with insulation foam for a big prop but everything I saw was to cover it with worbla so this is great!
Hi i found an alternative to a heat gun when you want to bend thin sheets of insulation foam.... A hair dryer. I recently made a I.f face mask. UHU glue other than styropor melts foam too
Thank you for posting this.. I'm trying to build a diorama more than cosplay but the insulation foam looks ideal.. I've got PVA wood glue and acrylic paints they were pretty inexpensive.. 😍
Hi Lisa, danke für das Video, bin erst seit ca. 4 Wochen beim Cosplay und wünschte ich hätte gestern das Video gesehen, das hätte mir ein paar €uronen erspart xD. Naja habe mich jetzt auch etwas hinein experimentiert ... T.T xD Mir gefällt deine Art die Information zu transportieren, easy, bodenständig und nicht zu aufgeblasen :). Nice Vid & informative especially for Beginners! Abbo +thumbs up and ring the bell ^^
Aww vielen lieben Dank! Freut mich sehr, dass es dir gefällt! Ich habe früher leider auch immer viel zu viel für Materialien ausgegeben xD aber im laufe der Zeit finden man (zum Glück) immer mehr günstigere alternativen ^^ und herzlich Willkommen in der Cosplay Community ♡
Hi! You are very talented! And very informative, thank you. Can you recommend to foam I can use to make really long (4 to 9 feet), thick (1/2”) or so drips down a wall.?
Hello, love the video, hopefully in a few months I’ll be making my first prop and was wondering if you know what the best way to glue sheets of eva foam to xps so that I can cover it instead of worbla?
Thank you for the video. I was wondering how I might create a support for a longer sword prop that's about 185cm? When doing it in the past with just foam the handle breaks off
I always use two sheets of insulation foam and cut out a small piece in the middle (on both sheets) to glue in a PVC pipe. The pipe needs to be long enough to fit into the sword and be the handle at the same time. This will distribute the weight better and the sword will not break as easily :)
No, it's called Worbla. This is a thermoplastic material that you can heat up with a heat gun and then bring in any shape you want. Many cosplayers like to use it for there armors or to cover there props in it for more stability, but sadly it's much more expensive than Eva Foam :/
The Styrofoam glue in the video is an XPS/EPS glue. Honestly, I don't know why I didn't mention it, but thanks for pointing it out! and thanks also for the tip about the epoxy glue!

you're a true life saver, this was so helpful thank you!
Thank you so much! I love comparison videos instead of the "just buy this super expensive glue/primer cause it works"! You saved me money, thanks :)

Thank you; I do work related crafts, you are loved by your fans; I’m one. I hope you are well.. and keep the sharing going.
Thank you for your tips and advice! This was a great help for me in choosing appropriate products without the pangs of trial and error.
Great Video. After seeing Lighting Cosplay´s MhW Sword of Foam , this looks like a great Alternative for people with a tighter budget.
I saw her tutorial, her greatsword is so awesome!
and I totally agree with you, insulation foam would be a great alternative ^^

I'm having trouble finding Styropor glue. Do you know if there's an equivalent product in the States?
Also, love your videos!!

Hi! You are very talented! And very informative, thank you. Can you recommend to foam I can use to make really long (4 to 9 feet), thick (1/2”) or so drips down a wall.?
Is it possible to use pvc glue like they use for plumbing tubing?
Is it possible to use epoxy glue to coat the foam?
am gonna carve a head for a pink candy boat, very helpful
Hello, love the video, hopefully in a few months I’ll be making my first prop and was wondering if you know what the best way to glue sheets of eva foam to xps so that I can cover it instead of worbla?
I used the styrofoam glue for this and it worked very well :)
New sub!!
And you are not fat by the way. Nor are you a unicorn. LOL.
this will probably not get answered but how does eva foam compare to insulation foam for making props like this? is one better than the other?
Thank you for the video. I was wondering how I might create a support for a longer sword prop that's about 185cm? When doing it in the past with just foam the handle breaks off

What is the material called that she talks about at 6:00? The black stuff? Is it foam sheets?
No, it's called Worbla.
This is a thermoplastic material that you can heat up with a heat gun and then bring in any shape you want.
Many cosplayers like to use it for there armors or to cover there props in it for more stability, but sadly it's much more expensive than Eva Foam :/
@@FatUnicornCosplay oooooh! Great explanation ☺️ thank u!
In welchen Baumarkt kaufst du deinen Schaumstoff? Ich finde nirgendwo welchen, der dick genug ist.
I was reading a really long grateful comment but this has been erased :(
So, I'm just going to say THANKS FOR MAKE THIS VIDEO
Should've whatched this before glueing my foam. Now it's hollow inside xD
Wie lange hat es gedauert das Schwert zu machen?
Ich hatte damals nur 3 Tage Zeit um es fertigzustellen, weil die Gamescom unmittelbar bevor stand ^^'
@@FatUnicornCosplay krass denke als Anfänger Brauch man wohl ein wenig länger 😅
Best glue for it is a special glue for XPS foam (not Styropor) or epoxy glue
Thank me later 🫶
The Styrofoam glue in the video is an XPS/EPS glue.
Honestly, I don't know why I didn't mention it, but thanks for pointing it out!
and thanks also for the tip about the epoxy glue!
your english needs a little step up but your work looks amazing and the advices are superb. well done. and the video is nice as well ^^
